Indeed, the last meaningful work on the build/hudson subdirectory appears to be r947269 from 14 years ago. We use buildbot -- on a side note, AFAICT we only have svn-backport-conflicts-1.14.x running there now. I think trunk isn't being tested since infra upgraded to 3.2. It was some time ago that I tried to reinstate it but the CI system is (still) a mystery to me. :-/ We definitely need some help there. Back to Hudson: That has been superseded by Jenkins (which began life as a fork of Hudson). ASF supports Jenkins [1], but AFAIK we have never used it. Do we want to? I don't know much about Hudson or Jenkins so I can't tell whether we could adapt these to work with ASF's ci-builds (Jenkins) instance. It does seem silly to support both buildbot and Jenkins; we probably should stick with buildbot unless there is a good reason to switch. My opinion is to go ahead and remove the hudson stuff, because it has been unmaintained for a significant time. [1] https://infra.apache.org/build-supported-services.html#jenkins Cheers, Nathan
